November Marriages in Holland.
From the Pail Mall Gazetts

OF the twelve months in the year
November is recloned in certain vii
lagos in Holland to be by far the most
important. The four Sundays ofthi5
month are known respectively as Re-
view Sunday, Decision Sunday, Pur-
chase Sunday and Possession Sunday,
names which sufficiently explains the
purpose to which each is put By the
young people. Review Sunday the
unmarried girls and young men after
the morning service walk up and down,

who to select, the following sunday

marriage settlement. The stern hearts

An Incident of Border Warfare
Flo Grande Letter to St. Louis Globe
Democrat

Flo Grande Letter to St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
About three months ago party of
select rustlers, having their headquar-
ters in Frio cunty, Tex, crossed over
to Mexico on a horse-steallng expedi-
ton. They raided q ranch about
thirty miles from the border. killed
three men, captured about forty
horses and were heading for home in
triumph with their booty when they
were intercepted by q party Of Mex
lean rustlers within a mile of the south
bank of the river. A fierce fight en-
sued. A couple ofdashing freebooters
on both sides bit the dust, many were
wounded, and the affair promised to
result, like the encounter between the
Kilkenny cats, in both sides getting
| cleaned up. just at the height OF the
melee, as Winchesters were cracking,
pistols popping, wounded men groal,-
ing, and fifty angry men swearing in
two languages bent on killing each
other, detachment OF Mexican cav
! airy dashed up. Before the new ar
| rivals had time to take in the situation
the combatants ceased fighting. Al
most by impulse couple of men from
both factions reiterated with the stolen
horses, and the main body of both
proceeded to pump lead into the cav
alrymen. The latter returned the
fire, but the desperadoes were moro
than three to one, and after leaving
three dead and two wounded com
rades, the commanding officer among
the latter, the cavalry detachment
skipped, rather than retreated, TO
Camargo. This is not all. When the
cavalry nlen were we'll out of the way
the desperadoes resumed the fg ht and
kept it up until many on both sides
We're killed and the ammunition al
most exhausted. 1t will, perhaps,
crafty American national pride 10
learn that the American robbers sue
ceeded in bringing the horses to this
side of the river and holding on to
them.

Texas Siftings.

There is no truth that the Crosby
County InvincibIes changed the loca-
ton OF their armouy because the man
living next door had a biting dog.
The Invincibles are not so easily scar
ed. The Invincibles selected another
armory because there was no beer
saloon handy, and because there was
$35 back rent due on the former ar
mory. The ting-dogstory is weak
invention Of the enemy.
Nat Henderson, OF the Bungtown
Record, was here last week. Every
body was glad to see Nat--leavc town,
except, Of course, the landlord of the
Crosbyville hotl where Nat stopped.
He shed bitter tears. Nat threatened
to send him his paper in pay for the
hotel bill. The landlord talks of Civ
ing up the hotel business altogether.
The conservative voice of the people
OF Crosby county is to the effect thai
the miscreant who tried to poison
Sam Donavan's best coon dog should
be tarred and feathered. This hellisn
outrage, coming on the heels of the
theft of Parson Peters's old gray
mare, causes Northern capital to
pause and seek other fields OF invest
ment. How long is this reign of ter
TOR to prevail?
We are assured by some of the most
intelligent citizens of Crosby county
that our rebuke of General Kaulbars
in our last issue was timely, to the
point, and none too severe. Our
course is endorsed by the public. Two
new names placed on our subscription
list last week. Major Townsend is
talking OF subscribing for whole
year.
The citizens OF Crosby county will
regret to hear of the death of Never
Karl Rothschild, the head of the cele-
DRAFTED banking firm, who died sudden
ly from heart disease at Frankfort
on-the- Main, Germany. We extend
to the bereaved family our sincere
sympathies. He was a kind parent,
an lndulgent husband, and good
citizen. AS he leaves considerable
property, Instantly is we'll provided
TOR. He has gone to the New Jerusa-
lem. where tears are unknown. The
deceased was ana,nesake and distant
relative Of Sam RothschiId, the mer;
chant prince OF Crosby county. Nose
schaumburg Of Austin is also related
to the deceased. The last time we
were in Austin Mr.. Schaumburg pre-
sented us with a pair of new suspend
ers OF unique pattern, which we still
wear. Sss #:.% - II ~

he III ONE ant s Tailors.

3 from ths Nav ORR sun.
To-day the women Who have the
means to ddo 50 are able to dress in
manner that cannot be initiated with
out means.
This IS done by tailoring. Tailor
made garments have created an aris-
*to:racy of feminine taste. They have
reyolutionized the women's dress. 10
up town for q day or an hour and you
cannot fail to see the change. The
maids are still dressed in the old vol
luminous baggy style, all loops and
says and superfluities. The mistresses
are as II turned out of bandboxes.
They rival the men in neatness and
simplicity; they excel them in shapeli-
ness as women must excel men when
their figures are unconcealed. From
crowns to toes the women
are fitted with their garments.
Nothing will do this except
clotn or jersy goods, and as the latter
are out OF style and at the command of
everyone, cloth is now the material in
use for expensive dressing. In cool
weather every we'll dressed woman
wears a coat that envelopes her from
her ears to her heels and fits her more
completely than any man ever was
fitted by his coae, for the stays that
women wear permit closer fitting and
prettier effects. How beautiful they
look-all who have good figures at
least! There is room for the large
hustle of the time, which, with the
unavoidable and graceful bust, pre-
serves a proper distinction between
the sexes. Compare such dress
with the loose and ill-fitting costumes
of the past. 1t is like comparing
neat box. with a clumsy bundle.
And indoors there is just as great IL
| change. Cloth is used here as WELL
| and again it is fitted exactly to the
shape Of a tailormade basque and
plain neat skirt, the waists being
made long, the bust high, and the
statesque and graceful etfect that is
aimed at being preserved by the use
OF cloths with fine stripe running
lengthwise and unbrolzen from the
neck to the hem OF the skirt. There
| never was, not even in our colonial
period, such neatness and simplicity
and yet the style cannot be initiated
except at great expense. You can tell
the b,ngling work of a dressmaker
| who tries to initiate it as far off as
! you can see it.
| The women's tailors who are reap
ing this harvest laugh at the despair
of the dressmakers.

stern and unrelOnting Judge.
AT last nature no longer able to
cope-yielded and after hours Of
fitful fever, the Chaplain at last
slept well.
The next morning after breastfast,
the midshipman kindly informed the
Chaplain-greatly to his relief, that
the editor, though seriously wounded,
was not likely to die. If ever the
fervor of a mans soul-or the untold
thanks Of relieved heart, was
transmitted by the grasp of hand,
the Chaplains went fully forth that
day when the young officer inn
parted him that piece of information.
The deep lines on his face seemed
to clean away, and gladstone smile
overspread his countenance, whilst
his heart exultantly beet-"Saved-
Saved!"
A few days after the duel above
recorded-the Blunderbuss made
preparations for sailing to the harbor
of Honolulu--one of the group Of
Island that compose that mid ocean
country called the Hawaiian King
dom. As the course intended to he
taken would make the run some
thousands of miles in length, and
necessarily consume considerable
length of time, the Chaplain deter
mined to coniine his routings to the
deck of the ship, and to shape down
in proper form such gleanings he
had since his departure from Panama
and TO place in suiting safety the
articles of curio gatherings-among
which were splinter from the thigh
bone of Pizarro, and finger joint
of st. Rose of Suna-and numerous
other triaes of small intrinsic value,
but of considerable Importance to
the tastes of his Club.
The day the ship set sail, the
Chaplain TO his Inaccessible surprize
and chagrin, was ordered by the
Captain, to his quarters under arrest,
pending an intended investigation
into his having violated the Regula-
tons of the Navy, by fighting a
duel. His companion in arrest was
the loquacious midshipman, upon
the same charge-and who wimpered
like a big school boy when the order
was made.
The third day after the ship set
sail the Court of Inquiry was order
ed. 1t assembled with all the
solemnity and dignity the momen-
tuous matter required. Courts Mar
tial are frequent occurrences on ship
board, but the Court Martial of a
Chaplain on the charge of duelling,
is a matter of such seldom occur
ence, as to lend it additional import
ance, and set the tongue of SANDER
loose entirely unbridled.

Other p aces where cigars are sold, for
it is an undisputed fact that most smokers
prefer mild cigar and that those who
have for long time smoked strong
cigars, principally imported Manilas,
will, after having thoroughly injured
the stomach and impaired the nervous
system, surely want mild cigar, if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who
suffer from loss of appetite, headache,
nervous irritability, asthma, etc., and
who have tried all possible remedies
without success, might be cured if they
knew that their sufferings were caused
by the Incorporate use of strong cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild
and properly prepared ones. !.
1t is a fact that all mild cigars agree
we'll with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex-
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most fastidious
smoker, and that is
